Google and Eclipse launch open source lab

Google and the Eclipse Foundation have announced the launch of Eclipse Labs, a Google hosted portal that will feature open source projects based on the Eclipse platform. Using the portal, developers can start and maintain their Eclipse-based open source projects.

According to a post on the Google Code blog by Google Project Hosting Product Manager Ali Pasha, the Eclipse Foundation approached Google with "an idea to encourage the Eclipse ecosystem." Pasha says that the goal of the collaboration is to improve the visibility of unofficial add-on projects and that the developers hope it "will help popular projects get on the path to becoming Eclipse Foundation projects."
